Description:
OLDC is a web-based system used for storing and analyzing the data reported by Grantees under each Social welfare program. Each Program is represented by a unique form that Grantees use to report their year-end status. This system has 3 important modules namely Form display engine, Roles & Assignments and Address module. Form display engine is primarily responsible for displaying different forms to the user so that they can complete their form submission for each program. With the Electronic Form Submission the system can automate much of the current manual process of mailing out forms and instructions, handling and processing submitted paper forms and providing technical assistance over the phone. Roles module is responsible for maintaining different levels of access and privileges to the user of OLDC. The super users using the GUI that role assignments module provides can manage these roles for every user of OLDC. And Address module is responsible for maintaining the address and contact information of each grantee and others.
Program costs related to printing and postage will be significantly reduced as each form becomes implemented, and as Grantees acquire Internet access. This system supports both Microsoft IE and Netscape. This System confirms with section 508 of Rehabilitation act.
Responsibilities:
● Provided ROMs for enhancements, created tasks and assigned, tracked the development progress.
● Worked on AWS S3 to implement attachment module in the form display engine.
● Explored AWS EC2 to determine if we can move development IDEs to AWS.
● Was involved in the evolution of this application from a pet-store based framework to current day spring application and the technologies that come with it.
● Implemented Web services and Rest services for various features.
● Converted the project to a spring based application with dependency injection and IOC.
● Implemented PDF generation of the forms generated dynamically.
● Development experience on both Ubuntu and windows.
● Used Jenkins/nexus for continuous integration.
● Implemented Self Registration with single sign-on.
● Designed and implemented the User Interface for Roles, Assignments and Address modules using JSP, JavaScript, XML and HTML.

Description:
MGM is a web based application that enables grantors to determine all the necessary decisions about the grants being awarded to the grantees such as States. Mandatory grants comprise a class of grants in which funding is legislatively required. Awards are issued non-competitively and there is the expectation of an on-going funding relationship between the grantee, usually a State, Tribe or Territory, and a federal funding agency. This application deals with 3 types of Mandatory Grants. Block grants that involve the consolidation of a group of previously separate but related programs into a single legislative package. Under these arrangements, administrative requirements are simplified and recipients, which would usually be eligible States, Tribes and Territories, are given broad flexibility to establish their own priorities and manage funds with minimal federal control or direction. Open-Ended Grants. Also known as open-ended entitlement grants or simply entitlement grants. Under these awards, the federal government pays a statutorily mandated share of program costs without dollar limits. While funds must be spent on specified services and on behalf of eligible individuals, the total available is not capped. Funding fluctuates based on the number of individuals who quality in an eligible State, Tribe or Territory in a given year. Closed-Ended Grants,also known as formula grants, a type of grant in which award amounts are calculated using a statutory formula. The formula may be based on elements such as population, the proportion of population that is unemployed or below the poverty level, the density of housing or the rate of infant mortality. The total funding available under the program is set. Eligible recipients, usually States, Territories or Tribes, receive a share of the total as calculated using the formula.
Responsibilities:
● Designed and developed the Fees, Statistics, Processing Cycle, formula allocation, financial account configuration award amount determination modules using the Prime faces and Vaadin frameworks.

Position : Java/J2EE Developer
Technologies : J2EE, Servlets, JSP, JSTL, Struts1.1, Sybase, XML, XSLT, Jdeveloper, BEA WebLogic 6.1, on Windows 2000
Description:
BASS is designed and implemented to provide the security guards with the flexibility to manage the visitors' real time. There are 3 main roles in this application, Administrator, tenants and the security guards. Administrator creates the users and security guards. The role tenant represents the person who is working in that building. When the tenant is expecting a visitor he creates a ticket with all the information about that visitor and visit date and time. This is saved real time into the system. When the visitor turns up the security guard checks the visitors' list marked for that day and decides to admit or reject the visitor. The system also has provision for identifying the security guard who admitted each visitor. We can see various reports such as the visitors for specified period and visitors per security guard.
